Go down to your local decent garage or Halfrauds will test a battery or alternator for you. If you have a multimeter you can do it yourself. My money is on your alternator on its way out. Your fan belt does squeal at times does it?

Actually that's just a pretty good way to fry the control circuit inside your alternator and blow all the electronics and bulbs in your car. The alternator in the Mini is a battery sensing type, it needs to be shown a referance voltage of 12v to know what voltage to produce. Without a referance voltage it could produce any output as the revs increase and start blowing electronic circuitry. Also, this wouldn't stop the engine in any case. The battery only starts the engine, the alternator runs it.
Was your fan belt set too tight when the alternator was changed? There should be 1/2" deflection along the longest run of belt.
